    Default COTA Speeds for Gearing

    Hi I Have a Swift DB4 with a Toyota and I am going to the SVRA historic
    race at the end of October at COTA, can I ask for some help with
    gearing. Need to know top speed at the end of the fastest straight
    and top speed thru the slowest corner. This will give me enought info to
    set my box up for the first run at this track.

    Regards Don R

    Road America gearing is a good starting place.

    I ran the exact same gears as Sebring and it worked out pretty well for us. RA gearing is a bit too long I think. I also shortened 2nd gear one ratio for the race just to get off a few critical corners better in traffic.
